Music in the Hall, Episode I From his office in Oxford’s oldest building on the square, Daniel Morrow, of Oxford Music Snob fame, thought the long, narrow hall with hardwood floors and high ceilings was screaming for something more than just office space. He envisioned an intimate music hall to be utilized on special occasions. On Thursday night, the ordinary hall with immense potential was transformed into an inaugural event billed as “Music In The Hall (Episode I).” About 50 chairs were lined up in the hall for an unplugged, acoustic...

Neko Case The Lyric 9/25/2008 Oxford, MS As debate anticipation and chaos fell more heavily upon the Square, and our Republican and Democratic nominees landed in Oxford, so did Neko Case’s needle. And as that reference is nothing without its lyric, so The Lyric was nothing on Thursday night without its star. And a Star Witness was I. The Lyric, Oxford’s newest music venue, opened its doors in July and has since occupied its stage with the nationally-toured voices of Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, Jenny Lewis, and The Drive-By...
